They were always prioritizing the wolves comfortability with visiting people, but you do get to get very hands on with them. The staff were equally enjoyable with their colorful personalities and very happy to handle taking pictures for everyone there. Also, although the site stated the tour was one hour they went way over to make sure we got to visit with the ones available to visit with and didn't rush anyone out. I definitely think we got more of any experience than we paid for and would recommend to others.

Visiting Reject Ranch was an unforgettable experience that truly touched our heart. From the moment…read morewe arrived, it was clear that their mission to rescue and care for farm animals in need is carried out with dedication and genuine compassion. The animals at Reject Ranch are not just living beings but are treated with the utmost respect and kindness they deserve. Each animal has a unique personality, and interacting with them was a delightful experience that melted our heart. It was wonderful to see how well they were cared for in such a loving environment. A special mention goes to Kady, who was incredibly informative and helpful throughout our visit. Her knowledge and passion for the animals and their well-being were evident, making our interaction both educational and enjoyable. Her kindness allowed us to connect with the resident animals in a meaningful way. Meeting these loving creatures entirely altered my perception of farm animals and emphasized the importance of empathy and compassion for all living beings. We left Reject Ranch with a renewed sense of purpose and a desire to contribute to their mission. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Reject Ranch. It's a place that enriches your understanding of animal welfare and inspires continuous support. We look forward to returning and continuing to support their wonderful cause, as once you meet these incredible animals, they stay in your heart forever."

We adopted our new dog Jet here and had a positive experience overall. Everyone we met was kind, and it was clear the staff genuinely cares about the animals despite limited resources. Jet was clean when we met him and appears to be in great health. We also appreciated how understanding the adoption coordinator was about allowing a proper meet and greet with our senior dog Gus (15 years old, 14 pounds, and very dog selective), which helped us feel confident in the match. This shelter is very full and many dogs have been waiting a long time (6 months to 2 years). Compared to shelters that get more attention and donations, this location in Desert Hot Springs is less visible and easy to miss, and many dogs are housed outdoors in extreme desert conditions. We only met Jet because we came back multiple times and asked for a full tour. I understand it can be stressful for the dogs, but the reality is many won't be seen otherwise. Jet was not what we planned to adopt (we originally came looking for a small female), but he's a calm 50 pound sweetheart and we couldn't be happier. If you're considering adopting, take your time, ask questions, and ask to see all available dogs. And if you're not in a position to adopt right now, please consider donating or volunteering, this place truly needs it. We actually started donating ourselves after visiting because the need is obvious.

She told us that we had to fill out an application and get approved prior to even looking at any of the animals. In today's age of identity theft they want all my information before I even know if there is a match? I don't think so... I am sure they are just data mining personal information so they can add me to a list to solicit me for money for years to come *without consent* which is very shady IMO! Needless to say, we left and found a wonderful addition to our family elsewhere.

I used to sing the song to her, "gator face, you've got the cutest little gator face, no one is ever going to take your place, gator face, You are my whole wide world, you are my cutest girl.

Important notice if you are going to adopt a dog from here just be careful and ready for a heart…read morebreak because my wife and I went here on Tuesday to look at dogs and as we were leaving we saw this beautiful puppy and one of the workers were fostering it and we as if we could look at it and they yes and told us it was going up for adoption on Thursday, so we were excited, but they said there was another family also looking to adopt this dog and said that we would have to get here early to try to claim it and if multiple people want the dogs, they would do a raffle for it to see who would get it but what they didn't tell us is that they were the ones who won the dog so when we showed up here on Thursday, they were able to get in front of the line cause they just had to come out of the works spot and immediately as the door open, they shot Forward and instantly started to fill out the paperwork for the dog, which is not cool at all for getting a family's, hope up to get this puppy they could have said on Tuesday I want to adopt the dog instead of making us believe we could've gotten it so we left there heart broken so if you are adopted from here just be careful.

While in a state of panic, I searched online for who to contact. I called Riverside County Animal Services, and I was on hold for what felt like an eternity. I hung up, and decided to call Animal Friends of the Valleys to see if they could give me numbers for who to contact. I was immediately connected to a woman named Tara. She was so kind! I could tell she has a good heart. She was understanding of my concern for the injured bird. She took down my info and informed me that someone would be there to pick up the bird. About 20 minutes later, the bird ran off. I am assuming it was just stunned after crashing into the window. I called back to cancel the service, and Tara answered again. She was happy the bird was moving. Thank you Tara for being so kind and helpful!
